Sony displays some fancy new motion sensing technology

If you're a long-time gamer from America, since we're not quite sure these made it overseas, you may have been to a giant arcade/restaurant called Dave and Busters. At these places, they usually had an area in the arcade that had "virtual reality" rings, where they slapped gloves and a big helmet on players willing to spend the big money so they could "virtually" move around in their own 3D world. It looked really ugly, too. Well, Sony has come up with a way for you to experience a 3D world without sticking anything on your body at all -- except recommending that you keep your head attached.

With the PlayStation Eye, Sony has unveiled the ability to map your head movements in 3D. For example, if you want to look around a corner in a first-person shooter, with this technology you would simply crane your neck around the corner like you really would. And the Eye would catch this and the game would react accordingly. It's neat. Watch the video. End of line.
